Book Review: Too Too Many Tutus by Suzanne Davis Marion

Review of Too Too Many Tutus written by Suzanne Davis Marionand illustrated by Marj HalesSynopsis:Young Christina is getting ready for her ballet class but she has a problem. Christina has too many tutus and can't decide which tutu to wear. She asks her family members one by one but no one can make the choice for her.

Christina spreads out the tutus on her bed: green, blue, pink, yellow, purple, orange and white. Each one evokes a different image and a different dance and style. The green tutu reminds her of tree tops swaying in the wind and leads to an outdoor dance. The blue tutu creates images of the sky and dancing on the beach with the fish and birds. The pink tutu leads Christina to think of roses blowing in the breeze. The yellow tutu makes Christina think of sunlight, yellow butterflies and sunflowers. The purple tutu evoke images of an early Spring day with violets and lilacs. For the orange tutu, Christina creates a wild dance by sunset and a blazing fire. As Christina goes through each one, she hears advice that helps her come to the right decision.

Review:

Christina's world is an a wonderful one for a little girl. Surrounded by her loving family and her lovely things, Christina is full of fun, imagination and talent. As she creates a different dance for each tutu, it is easy to enjoy her world. The watercolorpicturesarefullofjoyandwouldsurelydelightanylittlegirl.

About Me

After spending years as a corporate lawyer in a big law firm in NYC, I'm looking into starting my own practice. I have time to explore NYC, learn to cook and eat healthier, exercise, garden (on my Brooklyn balcony), and read more. My interests are very broad from cooking and gardening to real estate, estate planning, tax law, investing and law to escapist fiction of all types to nonfiction and memoirs. I've lived in many countries and cities and love to travel. I love hearing about other people's travels and experiences, so if you have any recommendations of places in your town or somewhere that you'd visited - please drop me a line @ gaby317nyc AT gmail DOT com. You can find me on twitter as startingfreshny.
